Hi. I just made an appointment with a biological dentist. He doesn't use DiamondLite but uses something called Holistore. From what I am finding, it contains no metals, but it isn't the most durable stuff.

I am suspicious of needing 2 appointments before I can start getting my amalgams replaced. He needs one appointment to do bite wing and panoramic x-rays, with a consultation on his holistic practice.

Then, I would need another appointment for a cleaning with another consultation on what would be the best dental choices specific to me.

All I want is my fillings replaced! Do I really need to go through a cleaning first?! Does this sound right?! I am due for a cleaning, but I would like to keep costs down as much as possible.

Thanks,
Olif
